The problem:
- Current Internet address assignments are based on a hierarchical structure.
- The existing Internet registries are not set up to deal with networks where every part of the network is owned and operated by end users.
- A large scale ad-hoc wireless network is a different physical medium to the classic Internet
- Existing Internet "trust" is achieved out of band, there is no per address authentication.
- Significant fees are required to obtain IP address ranges.
Wiana has been formed to meet the following needs:
- Providing IP addresses for wireless devices free of charge.
- Providing certificates for each address to ensure full authentication
- Managing a centralised abuse handling and blocking structure
- Ensuring that network policies are upheld
